Bailarinas, Miss Van's solo show opened last night at Jonathan Levine in NYC. As she promised, Miss Van sent over images to share with us of her studio and the show getting hung. Her signature poupées are dressed in tutus with their bee stung lips and bedroom eyes covered slyly by animal masks - looking as cute and sexy as ever.

Can we please talk about how great this is? I know people have their issues with Snooki, for what ever reason - I have actually never seen Jersey Shore - but I think this is such a great example of how awesome embroidery is. Also, I think we should have a chat with Ktburrr (I can't find her name!) about why her etsy shop is empty. ;)

This piece by Michelle Blade was attached to an email newsletter from Cinders Gallery and it kind of blew my mind. I had to share it here. It is part of Cinder's show, RESURRECTION. Make sure you check out all the other great work in the show before it comes down.

I spotted Anna Garforth on Creature Comforts lasy week and looooooooved her use of the out of the ordinary mediums to create type/fonts. All of her projects are wonderful, it's clear she likes to push herself. But I have to say her Wild at Heart masking tape and chainlink fence project is definitely my favorite.
